Spent the weekend working the two part time jobs, so no RVing, but the plan is to get out to 52F at least one day this week to scratch that particular itch. It keeps me right side up LOL.
I hope you had a nice weekend and got to spend some time with your RV or RV project.
Have a great Monday.

Meditations on a Grounded RV
I. Teardown What does it mean to savor the fast, fleeting, and final hours on the tach before the engine goes idle and the last puffs of burnt fuel begin to fizzle into a wide and far-reaching silence? What sense does one have of eternity when, with a single glimpse, there is captured high...
